PHOENIX - Arizona Sen. John McCain is taking heat from an infomercial star famous for hawking free government money, but this time it's not from his Republican primary rival.
Now he's hearing from Matthew Lesko, the man known for his distinctive question-mark suits and his high-energy infomercials promising free government money.
Lesko says McCain didn't ask permission before using video of him to attack GOP rival J.D. Hayworth -- and Lesko's not happy about it.
Lesko appears three times in a 1 1/2-minute Web video McCain released last week. The video pokes fun at Hayworth for hawking free government money in a 2007 infomercial.
Lesko says he's "shocked at the impoliteness" and would've given McCain permission to use his picture if asked.
